[King of the Lizards (3)]
There was no name.
Yet when it emerged from the egg, there was only one being looking down on it.
She was a mother, a queen.
It was an existence born for her, a devotee following her commands.
All beings, including itself, were simply there to serve her holiness.
She commanded.
More nutrients were needed.
It knew what that meant.
Under her, they were a collective before they became individuals.
One and whole.
It was like an instinct.
Without realizing, it organically moved alongside the others, producing nutrients for it.
Slaughtering.
Draining blood.
Boiling water.
Peeling skin.
Dissecting organs.
Completely disassembling.
Preparing nourishment for her required extensive work.
After the disassembly, the real work began.
But compared to the disassembly, the actual work wasnt difficult.
It was just about filtering out the parts that wouldnt become nutrients and selecting the tender parts.
The selected parts were placed on the cutting board.
Striking them with its tail.
Until they became tender enough.
Flipping them and striking the other side.
For it.
Cutting them with its tail. And then mincing them.
The finely minced meat was placed in a cart, and the next part was
Dont expect to die gracefully.
Suddenly, flames burst forth before its eyes.
No, flames engulfed its entire body.
Eeeeeek!
Damn bastards.
The body collapsed.
It couldnt see ahead.
Was the body melting away first, or were the eyeballs sliding out first?
It hurts.
Its hot.
Find the survivors!
Regulus Clan Lord! The adjacent room is the same!
Ah It hurts.
Theres something more important than that.
I need to inform it.
Its dangerous.
Where they are.
Ee-e-eee-k
Cre-ee-e-ak
They heard themselves calling.
They are telling it.
That it is in danger.
Kie-e-e-e
Youre a tough one. Can you stand this much heat?
.
In his heart, he wanted to burn the whole place down.
If Guyeonsu hadnt intervened, he might have set the entire underground on fire.
<Flame Demon>. I understand your feelings, but calm down. Did you forget about the missing people?
Thats what Im doing.
Hyun chul was about to say it with frustration, but he met Guyeonsus narrow eyes.
There was life directed at him.
<Flamde Demon>. The place youre standing in right now is not a place for you to act on your emotions freely. If youre a player representing a nation and a player representing a clan, act accordingly, brat.
Hyun-chul manifested mana within his body. The flames that flowed out of his body covered his entire body.
However, Guyeonsu didnt back down and stared at him intently.
The people who panicked were the players who were searching the scene.
The players from the Regulus Clan and the Blaze Clan were facing each other, poised to engage in battle at any moment.
I apologize.
A clan war could have broken out in the monsters lair at any moment.
Hyun-chul wasnt that stupid. Extinguishing the flame, he took a deep breath, his chest heaving, and bowed his head.
Raise your head, <Flame Demon>.Didnt I tell you? Are you the kind of person who would bow to me?
No, I understand.
What are you doing? Resume the search. Hurry up.
You too.
The two faced each other as if nothing had happened.
The players scattered to different areas of the place.
Hyun chul followed Guyeonsu.
He had done something quite foolish.
They must have noticed it.
As evidence, screams echoed from different places, and the mana waves of the monsters that dominated them were transmitted.
Are you okay?
What?
Im irritated.
Im pissed because I did something wrong.
Pissed off is pissed off.
Hyun-chul rolled his eyes and replied bluntly to Hye-rim, who kept pace with him.
He was well aware of the fact that players with longer careers than him were secretly looking down on him.
Even Guyeonsu did that.
He didnt call himself Blaze Clan Lord.
He didnt add player to his name when referring to him.
Always, with a wry smile, he referred to him as <Flame Demon> .
It was frustrating, but he couldnt help it.
Even if he held one of the Twelve Seats, he knew that he was still lacking in many ways.
Time could only resolve this matter, but he was still angry.
Lets learn together.
What?
You and me. Compared to experienced people like you, were still rookies.
As you said, we learn while getting in trouble, right?
He cancelled the thought that she seemed different from usual.
Kang Hyun-chul was not surprised by the tail flying in front of his face.
There was no reason to be surprised.
This was a party game, not a solo game.
Nine Dragons Style () Lunar String ()
Guyeon-su made his move. The blade, emanating a dim aura, drew a crescent shape and repelled the tail.
Nine Dragons Style Piercing Strike ()
It did not retreat.
The tail bounced upward and simultaneously charged forward. The extended sword curved back inward, penetrating into the creatures chest.
The mana-filled blade pierced through his armor.
Thud.
Burst.
Hyun-chul, who had steadied himself in the meantime, released his sword and switched places with Guyeon-su, who stepped back.
The blade pierced through the scales and caught fire.
It looked as if it had been pierced by an arrow of flame.
Soon, the flames erupted. A deafening explosion occurred, and the sword stuck in the creature was pulled out due to the recoil, flying away.
A small shield.
Mini Shield.
The Blaze Clan Guardian threw the shield on his shoulder.
At the same time, Park Hye-rims protective magic deployed.
There was no need to evade.
Just swing as it is.
How about that, you lizard bastard?
Leaping the remaining distance, he twisted his body to the maximum.
As his feet touched the ground, he swung his upper body, which had been coiled like a spring, with all his might.
Once again, flames burst forth, and the sound of cracking joints echoed.
It was the sound of the creatures bones breaking.
Ki-e-eek!!
There was an opening.
There was no need to signal.
Bind.
Hye-rim cast a binding spell on the creature,
Visachigi ()
Clan Blazes caster cast a ranged spell while he was immobilized.
A hail of rocks formed from thin air.
They were not alone.
Warriors Barrier
Damage Shield
The guardians of Blaze Clan and Park Hye-rim bestowed protective spells against consecutive shocks upon the frontline players.
Load, Fire
A Wild Shot
Arrow rain
The mid-ranking rangers launched long-range attacks.
Countless arrows and bullets poured down without pattern.
It was a random bombardment.
The protective spells given to Kang Hyun-chul and Guyeonsu were quickly extinguished.
Every time that happened, Park Hye-rim and the guardian protected the two.
The new potions are pretty good.
Hyun-chul and Guyeonsu could retreat to the rear with support from the mid-ranking and rear-ranking players.
The two drank mana-recovery potions taken from their pockets and quickly restored the mana depleted in battle.
Its still alive.
Its tough.
Even though they delivered such attacks, the creature didnt die.
The detected mana waves were still robust.
When the explosions ceased, the creature emerged gradually from the smoke.
Hah, its no joke when you look at it now.
Hyun-chul clicked his tongue. He didnt know as he charged at the creature with the determination to defeat it, but its momentum surviving such attacks was impressive.
Differentiated from Sharp Tail, the Lizardman was covered in jet-black scales, making it gigantic. Just by standing up fully, its head almost reached the ceiling.
Horns protruded from its head, intermittently sparking from the two horns.
Hu-man
The creature could speak human language.
The reptilian pupils focused on them.
Its skin, scorched by flames and melted by heat, began to regenerate. Shedding broken scales and sprouting new ones happened in an instant.
Can it even regenerate on its own?
Hyun-chul furrowed his brow.
The other players had also witnessed his ability and expressed their disbelief.
Navigator. What happened to the analysis?
Guyeonsu, who picked up the fallen sword from the ground, looked at the navigators.
The navigators were facing the boss, who was eyeing them intently.
Both of their pupils were trembling, and they lowered their heads.
This creature is not listed in the database.
Its a new type of monster. For now, all we can say is that its presumed to be a reinforced form of the Sharp Tail.
Rank?
At least 5th rank, possibly up to the maximum 4th rank.
The navigators responded with an uncertain tone.
The players didnt show their emotions on their faces.
However, when they heard the term 4th rank, there wasnt anyone who wasnt disturbed.
Even if they had two members of the Twelve Seats, it would still be a formidable battle.
What the hell. Im the one who killed the Kraken. And now you want to back down?
Kang Hyun-chul let out a sarcastic chuckle, aiming his Bastard Sword at the creature.
At that time, it was thanks to the Miracle that weakened the Kraken, and I applied buffs that made it possible.
Hye-rim wanted to argue back, but she could sense the mood.
There was no point in demoralizing them with a bunch of nonsense.
Those who dont want to die are out. Only those who want to be strong enough to die are left. Well beat them.
Without a moments hesitation, the members of Clan Blaze drew their weapons. Even the Navigators eyes lit up with pride.
Clan Blaze. A group of fools who gathered to fight the strong, to become the strong.
Guyeonsu couldnt help but smile at the sight of the Blaze Clan members moving forward.
<Flame Demon >. We have a chance of winning, right?
We may have a chance of winning. Im only fighting because that bastard is in front of me, isnt that right, you guys!?
Yes!!!
Then follow my instructions. If theres a chance, theres a chance.
Huh?
Guyeonsu called the telepathist who was waiting by the door.
The telepath wagged his raccoon tail, walked over, and listened.
Nodding, the raccoon-like Ain, transmitted telepathic messages to those present.
[Message from Regulus Clans Guyeonsu Clan Lord.
The creature is not in a state to fight properly as it is currently protecting its egg.
We can take advantage of this to defeat it.
This was Navigator Oh Dong-tong of the Regulus Clan].
No! No! Is that a fight?! Regulus Clan Lord, are you still a man after all this?
I am the leader. Who else said you will be the dealer?
